The idea of Russian President Vladimir Putin about the construction of "New Russia" in the occupied territories was defeated Ukrainian.

This is a Russian political scientist and publicist Andrei Piontkovsky wrote in an article for the website "Radio Liberty".

"It was found that in eight out of ten enrolled in the New Russia regions have not even found a sufficient number of survivors from the mind of grannies to organize regular crowd scenes with banners and Putin's icons. In two areas in several cities managed to gain a foothold armed to the teeth with a motley company of professional saboteurs visitors degenerates, foremen MMM fascist Russian National Unity, clowns Cossacks veterans of 35-year-old Afghan-Caucasian colonial war. In order to avoid being kicked out of the Donbass, you need a permanent presence in the rebellious areas of the regular Russian army bought in Voyentorg tanks, BTR-s, plants' Grad "," Hurricane "," Tornado "SAM" Buk "- says Piontkovsky.

"The project is radiant" New Russia "skukozhilas: the fundamental political weakness of the movement" desperate indigenous people "that distinguishes it from any other separatist project in the world, was the lack of it organic, the inability to clearly articulate any reasons for his" despair ", nor the purpose of the "protest", - said Russian political analyst.

According to Piontkovsky, Putin's aggression greatly contributed to the formation in Ukraine of a civic nation is not based on ethnicity, and philosophical principles of the European choice of fidelity to the historical traditions "Kievan Rus".

"In terms of civilization war imposed on Putin Ukraine has become for its citizens of all nationalities battle of Kievan Rus and the Golden Horde. Russian in Ukraine overwhelmingly rejected the idea of ​​the" New Russia "and" Russian world "supported the anti-criminal revolution and realize themselves as patriots of the Ukrainian state "- he writes.
